The heart is the most important organ in our body.


The heart organ plays a more important role in the summer than other seasons, in acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, it's a seasonal organ.


The heart houses the "spirit" in Asian medicine, one can think of it as peace of mind or mental health. Many people may experience restless sleep due to a restless mind.

Heart and Your Immune System

Poor sleep due to mental stress may lead to the weakening of the immune system so much needed during covid and delta variant times. 

The heart communicates with the immune system and the rest of the body through cytokines, hormones, and neurotransmitters.

If someone experiences worsening of conditions in the summer it could be related to the circulatory and cardiac systems of the body.

Foods red in color are good for the heart.
Tomatoes, wild salmon, goji berries, beets, red beans, watermelon, and goji berries.

Some of the heart condition manifestations
 Insomnia, heart palpitations, tachycardia, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure.

Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, and Bioresonance therapy can balance many conditions to health including the cardiac system and its related organs with the immune system.



Acupuncture heart health NYC
Laughter is the emotion associated with the heart.

I sometimes observe people in my acupuncture clinic in NYC laughing kind of inappropriately during acupuncture sessions.  


I think of laughter as the body's way sometimes of clearing trapped energy and/or blockages. I always think of the heart's emotion of laughter.
Laughter is the best medicine, they say and your laughter could reveal your spirits also.
